Every event happens once. We take the operational risk so the event that cannot be redone does not depend on the tech.

Once again thank you so much for your professionalism. I truly appreciated all of the assistance to the Prada event this week. I of course will reach out to you for future events.
Thank you for all of your hard work, flexibility and expertise on the Prada event. It was a pleasure working with you and I truly look forward to the next one!
Thank you for your dedication and genuine caring in helping to make the UNICEF event such a success. But most importantly you went the extra mile on site as little “fires” arose. A pleasure working with such a dedicated professional. Appreciate you and your team’s efforts on Friday.
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your hard work on NewFronts West—each of you helped us take the show to the next level. This proved to be a complex show with many competing (and at times conflicting) demands and you all handled it professionally and courteously. Each of your efforts to improvise and problem solve on the fly did not go unnoticed and I truly appreciate your commitment to the job.
Thanks to you and your crew for the help in the Al Pacino recording. The footage and audio are all superb and the edit is going great.
Thanks so much for all your last minute help making sure an event executed so well! It was really amazing in that space! Hope to work with you again!
Huge thanks to you and the entire MSTRS team for hosting us so beautifully. The Feeture x RCA event was a phenomenal experience — especially audio!
I just want to thank you and your colleagues for the incredible support you gave that wild-ride of a presentation on Saturday night. The whole team, including you, were troopers and I’m SO grateful you were at my back.
The show went perfectly, even with some last minute changes we made. Every member of the crew was professional and helpful. The team was a great help with every request we made. My thanks for all your contributions to our success. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Just wanted to extend a big THANK YOU for Saturday’s Comedy Central ROAST of Bruce Willis. Your team was amazing and everything went so well. We really appreciated your collaborative spirit and can do attitudes throughout the whole process. We especially appreciated everyone’s flexibility as we dealt with an ever-changing start time ;).
Last night the Academy Museum looked incredible! Thank you for the attention to details that went into making the event a true success! Please relay our thanks to the entire team!
Thank you so much for all of your help making our event last night a success. Hope to work with you all again soon!

Show technology is how we run the event, not a separate business. The same crew that plans the production designs and runs the audio, lighting, video and LED, staging, live streaming and capture, and the content team films the event. We are not a rental house: equipment goes with the production team, never as a standalone rental.

As soon as you have a date. Lead time depends on scope; send the date and we will confirm availability quickly.
Use Start a conversation: a short form covering who you are, the event, the date and city, scope and brief. You can also email hello@mstrsproduction.com or call (310) 773-8553. A producer from our team reads every request and replies by email or phone with availability for your date and a time for a first call. On that call we walk through the brief, the venue and the run of the day, and we agree the next step: a site visit, first drawings or a scoped proposal. Visits to 1141 Seward Street are by appointment; we send arrival and parking notes ahead. If the venue needs a certificate of insurance, we prepare the COI on request.
Budgets are scoped per project; we do not publish prices or packages. A DJ set on a hotel rooftop and a multi-day production with a full crew come from the same house, at a different scope. The contact form has a range selector with a 'Not sure yet' option and a line for larger productions that we scope with you, and as your technical partner we keep the budget optimized and under control.
Yes: live streaming, event filming, photography, recaps and interviews, run by the same team that runs the show.
